[골닷컴] Reporter Kang Dong-hoon = Tottenham Hotspur participated in the signing of Diego Carlos (28, Sevilla) while they were pushing for defensive reinforcement. They are likely to face competition from Newcastle United, who are said to have recently reached an agreement on personal terms.
British media ‘Daily Mail’ reported on the 21st (Korean time), “Tottenham have expressed interest in signing Newcastle’s target Carlos. It appears to be an attempt to increase the chances of qualifying for the Champions League this season.”
Tottenham are currently planning to strengthen their central defender. Manager Conte is using a three-back tactic, which is why available resources are limited. In particular, Christian Romero (23), who was expected to become a key player, left due to a long-term injury, and he is more focused on signing him.

Several players were on the purchase list. Milan Skriniar (26) and Stefan de Frey (29), who worked with Conte at Inter Milan, as well as Antonio Rudiger (28) and Pau Torres (25) were mentioned. However, only the transfer rumors were circulating, and negotiations did not go well, and there was no progress.
In the midst of this, he is being linked with Carlos, who wants to leave Sevilla this time. Another British media ‘HITC’ reported that Tottenham currently need a left-footed defender, but at the same time, they have targeted Carlos, who announced the breakup by requesting a transfer directly from the club. Eric Dier (28) is currently in the center of Tottenham, and it is analyzed that Carlos will stand on the left, assuming Romero returns to the right.
The key, however, is a signing match against Newcastle, which has a huge capital on its back. Newcastle plan to make changes to their squad by spending astronomical transfers to get out of the relegation zone. Currently, it is known that he has offered £30 million (about 48.5 billion won) for Carlos.
Carlos is a defender who excels in physical fights and aerial ball competitions with solid physical strength. Its focus, agility, and agility are also outstanding, showing stability in one-on-one situations. As he is from Brazil, he has excellent foot skills and can easily perform build-up skills.
In 2014, he set his feet on the European stage while living on loan with the Porto B team. After that, he moved to Nantes and has been active as a key defender for Seville since 2019. In his 120 appearances for Sevilla, he has scored 5 goals and provided an assist. Last year, he was selected as Brazil’s representative at the Tokyo Summer Olympics and played a full-time role in six games, making a big contribution to winning the gold medal.
